This sacred marble icon features the Panayia depicted (Theotoko) as Our Lady of Sorrows, with seven swords.
While the swords symbolise sorrow, the icon is also seen as a shield against spiritual and physical harm. Many Orthodox Christians believe that prayers before this icon can:
- Protect the home from conflict or misfortune.
- Heal broken relationships.
- Guard against envy, hatred, and ill will.
In short, the swords don’t harm her — they reveal her willingness to bear pain on behalf of humanity, and this selfless love is what makes her a powerful protector.
Deeply rooted in Orthodox tradition, this powerful image evokes compassion, strength, and unwavering faith. A meaningful addition to any prayer space or collection, beautifully crafted in timeless marble.
